I will certainly give Jackie credit for being the most dedicated chicken I have ever known. She has been broody now for about a month or so, maybe even longer. Why on earth does she pick the hottest time of the year to keep herself locked up in a hot chicken coop? Every chance I get, I grab her out of the coop and put her in the shade under a tree to hunt for bugs and cool down. She walks around for a bit, scratches here and there, but I soon find her back in the coop. I am pretty sure if she got too hot she would go outside, and I guess she has instincts that would prevent her from starving to death, but then again… I did spoil her as a young chicken. Is it possible I raised her without instincts? I better put her out again.

Three Days In LONE PINE, An Untold Tale of The High Sierra (A Lone Pine Western Book 2)
Mark Stephen Taylor
(6 Reviews)
Genre: Westerns | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Do you believe in angels? In 1873 the town of Lone Pine, California came to believe in them. Lone Pine is the home of Mt. Whitney, highest mountain in the contiguous United States, towering some 14, 497 feet. The white granite range of the High Sierra has been around for several thousand years, its towering spires unique in North America. However, the first recorded climb to this peak was not until August 18th, 1873, when three local fishermen braved the lofty crags and reached its elusive summit. Prior to that, there had been many attempts, but recorded history tells us those climbers who made the attempts never ended up on the right peak! Some of them did not return, and were never heard from again. Hundreds of peaks point skyward in this range of mountains, and though Mt. Whitney is the highest, it remained the most elusive for decades. But Indian legends tell of evil spirits that once made their abode atop this very mountain. From this great height it was believed that these dark forces planned their wicked strategies against our entire country. It was their mountain! The Indian legends also foretold of a time when the evil would be no more; a time when men and women would freely hike the mountain and experience the wonder and exhilaration it could produce within one’s spirit. According to those legends, and according to an old diary found in the hills just west of Lone Pine, that time did arrive. It was in August of 1873, when the most powerful leader of the angelic host paid an unannounced visit to the town. After his Three Days in Lone Pine, the mountain, the birds and the animals… even the people, would never be the same…
